You could take Cory's suggestion one step further and, rather than using SNAT Auto Map, have an iRule pick a SNAT address to use depending on the original source. That would allow you to still have multiple receive connectors based on origin, with a different SNAT address for each origin subnet (or however you do the segregation). If you want an example of such an iRule, let me know and I'll post something.
